It would be nice to have official support of Bazel to compile Kotlin, in my experience it makes building and testing much faster than with gradle. I know there are some already some rules by the Bazel team but I don't think they support multiplatform targets and the different compiler plugins. (Just a thought 🙂 )

What about maven? I tested a while ago and maven was waster than gradle. Obviously you lose some functionalities, but for building and testing it should be enough

Gradle is "enough" as well, I just like Bazel for its speed and ease of use 🙂

Also for people wanting to set up a monorepo in their business, I think Bazel + Kotlin multiplatform would be an awesome stack 🙂

bazel would be awesome if the plugin was better 😬
